Pumpkin Spice White Russian

Description

What makes Pumpkin Spice White Russian worth making is the way its flavours move across the glass. The point is texture as much as flavour. Vodka, coffee liqueur, cream and pumpkin purée create a soft, rounded drink, but the best version still has enough spirit and aromatic detail to avoid becoming a milkshake. It should feel plush, not cloying.

A small garnish or spice note helps the finish, giving the richness somewhere to go after the first sip.
